Case interview secrets. If you can afford, get Victor Cheng’s LOMS as well - that’s a true game changer (for me at least)

Better approach to the case and reasoning around “why” behind the recommendations

Neither. If you already have Secrets, read the chapter called Issue Tree. Then start working cases from a good MBA casebook (Kellogg, Wharton, Ross, HBS) with partners.

What are some ways you can connect/engage with an interviewer who seemed to be a little uninterested/unexpressive? I recently had an interview where my interviewer (partner) was not very friendly/engaging. I know everyone is different (and tbh it may have just been their personality or me misreading) but looking for tips on how to keep a good conversation going in these cases.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
